The Best of Filmmaking & Video Production March 2016

This is the 6th installment of this feature here on Filmmaking Lifestyle, where we chart the best-of-the-best from around the filmmaking and video production world. This article covers the best posts from March 2016.

Every month, I post a round-up article featuring the best things I’ve found around the web on filmmaking and video production.

We’re talking articles, videos, infographics, all sorts. Anything that stands out to me and that I think is worth keeping in an archive, I’m going to include in these reports.

I post these articles at the end of each month, along with all the regular posts you get on Filmmaking Lifestyle.

The Best Posts Of March 2016

March has been another busy one behind the scenes at Filmmaking Lifestyle. This month saw the official release of the Courses section of the Filmmaking Lifestyle website. You can now see a listing of the courses we’re going to be releasing.

I’ve fielded a number of questions this month from readers who are curious as to what the Courses involve. We’re still going to be posting awesome content on this site in the form of blog posts, as well as our various social media activities. The courses will be paid courses in the form of video and audio products.

We intend the courses to add even more value to fans of Filmmaking Lifestyle, as well as people who don’t yet know about the site. Like I say, we’re still going to be posting the free content on the site, so don’t worry about that. The Courses will be paid, but will be in addition to the free content, not a replacement for it.

Hope that clears everything up.

With the admin bits out of the way, let’s love right into the best of this month’s filmmaking and video production content from around the web!

Software, Hardware & Visual Effects

In big social media news, Instagram now allows videos up to a full minute long. This raises the previous limit from 30 seconds, which before that was just 15 seconds. It’s a huge move, as it shows the power that video has in top social media platforms like Instagram and now allows businesses and filmmakers to do more with the constraints of Instagram.

Wonderful collection of articles here! I particularly like the aperture gif, and the video on vector scopes is very clear and put together. I don’t know that I would have thought to search for these otherwise. Thanks!
